OnePlus 5T officially launched in Nepal

The OnePlus 5T is a significant upgrade to its predecessor and comes with a beautiful display, powerful internal specs, and an unbeatable software experience.

iHub Pvt. Ltd., the official distributors of OnePlus smartphones in Nepal has taken the wrap of the new OnePlus 5T in Nepal. The 5T, being a successor to the previously launched OnePlus 5 comes with some drastic changes, especially at the front.

Nothing but the design

There’s an obvious change at the front. The phone now comes with a 6-inch Optic AMOLED display with an aspect ratio of 18:9; making it a bit futuristic than its brother. The eye-catching display, though still comes with a 1080p resolution (2160 x 1080 pixel). A bezel-less display means less room for buttons, which has allowed OnePlus to shift its fingerprint scanner from the front to the back.

The facial scanner

However, the fingerprint scanner has an alternative in the form of a facial scanner. The phone makes use of 100 facial features providing a ridiculous read speed of 0.4 seconds. Impressively enough, the technology works in dark environment too and is faster than the iPhone X‘s Face ID.

All about the camera

Let’s talk about the camera here. The phone boasts a dual camera setup at the rear. Though, OnePlus has axed its predecessor’s telephoto lens in favour of an improved low-light performance and portrait mode. Out of two, the first lens bears 16MP sensor, whilst the second has a 20MP sensor. Nonetheless, both sensor comes with a similar aperture of f/1.7.

The phone comes in two colors, including Midnight Black and Slate Gray.

The optics will allow the phone to capture portrait images without any need for cropping. Similarly, the phone will also automatically make use of its second sensor in case of poor lighting condition, while at the same it uses its Intelligent Pixel Tech. The tech allows the phone to combine four pixels into one to reduce noise and lines.

Internally powerful

Internally, the phone’s nearly similar to its predecessor. Underneath sits the Snapdragon 835 chipset with Adreno 540 GPU. Powering the phone is a similar 3,300mAh battery with Dash Charge support, whereas the phone boots on Android 7.1.1 Nougat on top of Oxygen OS 4.7 with Oreo upgrade on the line.
